- Capacity: The plant’s output, often measured in liters per hour (LPH) or cubic meters per day (m³/day).
- Type of Filtration:
- Pre-filtration: Removes large particles like sediment and debris (typically through sand or multimedia filters).
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Removes chlorine, organic compounds, and odors.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): Removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, and contaminants.
- Ultrafiltration (UF): Removes suspended solids and bacteria.
- Pumps: High-pressure pumps for reverse osmosis or other filtration types.
- Membranes: Type and number of membranes for RO/UF systems (e.g., TFC, polyamide).
- Control System: Automation (PLC-based or manual) for regulating plant operations.
- Energy Requirement: Power consumption in kilowatts (kW).
- Post-treatment: UV sterilizers or ozone disinfection for removing bacteria and pathogens.
- TDS Reduction: Capability to reduce Total Dissolved Solids (percentage or level).
- pH Adjustment: Systems for balancing pH levels.
- Materials: Stainless steel or other durable materials used in tanks and pipelines.
These components can vary based on the type of water (municipal, borewell, etc.) and the specific application (drinking, industrial, etc.).
